Last week I posed these questions: Do we in the U.S. feel comfortable with how we select our Commander in Chief? Do we think it efficient?

I commend Choudrant High School for their mock crash they put on for the benefit of their fellow classmates and everyone in attendance. It was a startling representation of what can happen when students drink and drive.

If we are going to keep our country safe, we must secure the borders and keep track of everyone in our country on a visa. The executive office must enforce all laws whether they are liked or disliked. Illegal immigration is a tremendous threat to our national security. The 9/11 hijackers entered our country legally on visas — they just never went home.

On December 2012, Adam Lanza shot 20 kids and six staff members in the Newtown school shooting. He also shot his mother Nancy Lanza. After killing 26 people, he killed himself.

The cause was blamed on violent video games. On May 23, 22-year-old Elliot Rodger went on a shooting rampage. He killed seven people before killing himself. After an investigation, police found out he had planned this for a long time and played lots of violent video games.
